Chen Luo followed behind Bai Tuantuan, watching the little girl's still clumsy use of light-footed skills, and couldn't help but smile.
Just as they arrived at the back gate of the Zhou family's house, Chen Luo suddenly reached out and grabbed the small note under the pigeon.
"Grandpa, what does it say?" Bai Tuantuan asked curiously, tilting her head up.
"Xiao Guangyuan's men have made a move."
Upon hearing this, Bai Tuantuan pouted and said, "Could it be that they've gone to the Chen family to kill us again?"
"They can't beat others in a fight, yet they always try to rely on martial arts. Can't they use their brains?"
"Do they even have brains?" Chen Luo said slowly after destroying the note.
Bai Tuantuan almost burst out laughing.
Big Black Mole rushed to Chenjia Village with a knife, and was stunned when he saw that the Chen family was empty.
Could it be that it ran away?
With that thought in mind, the man with the large mole quickly returned to the small hut.
"It ran away?" Li Fan looked at the large black mole in shock, then panicked. "Oh no, oh no, if Lord Xiao finds out, we're finished!"
The man with the large black mole frowned deeply: "I'll inquire about it over the next few days."
"What else is there to ask about!" Li Fan said irritably. "Lord Xiao has already sent a letter urging us to return!"
The man with the large mole threw the knife aside, making a crackling sound: "What do we do now? Are we just going to say that the Chen family has been wiped out?"
"yes!"
Li Fan slammed his hand on the table. "How could I not have thought of that? He can't come to Fenghua Town anyway, so let's just say that!"
The man with the large black mole and Li Fan exchanged a glance, and the two, who had always been at odds, reached a consensus.
On the other side, on the outer wall of the Zhou residence, Bai Tuantuan climbed up with great effort: "The wall of the Zhou residence is higher than that of other residences."
"However, it still can't stump me."
The white ball of dust off itself after jumping down and said with a smile.
"But Grandfather, why does the governor need to buy an entire courtyard just for conducting business here? What a waste!"
"They're rich." Chen Luo jumped down as well, glanced around to make sure there was no danger, and then said, "Who told them to have so much money they didn't know what to do with it!"
"Oh! Is that so? Then we've done a good job today by taking out the money for them to spend on the poor." Bai Tuantuan nodded seriously, "I'm so considerate."
"Little rascal." Chen Luo patted Bai Tuantuan's head and laughed. "Let's go."
An elderly person and a child walked inside.
only……
"Grandfather, do you not know where the warehouse is?"
Chen Luo coughed dryly, his eyes filled with panic: "How is that possible? How could my maternal grandfather not know?"
"Or does the Zhou family not have a warehouse at all?" Bai Tuantuan said thoughtfully. "After all, they're only staying here for a few days. How could they bring all their money here? It doesn't make sense!"
Chen Luo nodded: "That's right, that's what my maternal grandfather thought too."
Bai Tuantuan was speechless: "Then, Grandfather, where's the money?"
“Naturally, it’s in their pockets,” Chen Luo said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
"An assassin!" came a cry of alarm, and then all the oil lamps were lit.
Chen Luo immediately pulled Bai Tuantuan to a corner and hid her.
Seeing the guards from the Zhou residence rush out, Bai Tuantuan squatted in a corner and whispered, "Grandfather, should we take advantage of the chaos to go to Governor Zhou's room?"
"Okay." Chen Luo's eyes gleamed as he slowly said, "Go by yourself, be careful."
Bai Tuantuan nodded, and her small figure darted away in a flash.
After watching Bai Tuantuan leave, Chen Luo emerged from the corner and ran straight to the backyard.
How dare they kill Tuantuan? Do they really think the Chen family has no one left?
After arriving at the backyard, Chen Luo rushed straight into Madam Zhou's room.
Governor Zhou had obviously gone to deal with the assassins, leaving only Madam Zhou and a nanny inside.
Chen Luo moved swiftly, knocking the old woman unconscious and thrusting the dagger directly into Madam Zhou's chest!
"ah!"
Madam Zhou cried out in terror, but Chen Luo immediately covered her mouth.
Chen Luo looked at the unconscious Madam Zhou, sneered, and was about to go out when he found that the guards had already rushed towards them!
With guards on three sides, Chen Luo had no choice but to retreat!
Meanwhile, Bai Tuantuan was stuffing Governor Zhou's clothes into a sack in the study. She had just run out when she heard the guards' voices.
My heart skipped a beat. I was just about to go back and hide when the guards heard the noise and rushed over!
"It's over!"
Bai Tuantuan took a deep breath and ran off in a panic.
Seeing that there was no way forward, Bai Tuantuan closed her eyes. The next second, she felt herself being pulled and stumbled into a warm embrace.
"Eh? Ning Nanxiao?"
Looking at Ning Nanxiao, who was dressed in white, Bai Tuantuan frowned: "You're a guest at their house?"
Ning Nanxiao listened cautiously, and only when he saw that no one was chasing after him did he say, "Of course not, I'm here to check something."
"To be an assassin?"
Bai Tuantuan suddenly realized: "The person they want to arrest is you?"
Ning Nanxiao nodded in agreement.
"Tsk, you're dressed in white to be an assassin? Do you think you're not noticeable enough?" Bai Tuantuan's eyes showed disdain. "Not professional at all. You should be dressed in black like me, with a black mask, understand?"
Ning Nanxiao was speechless: "Let's go."
"Wait, my maternal grandfather is still alive."
The two quickly went outside and followed the light to the backyard.
“The person is inside, sir,” the head guard said with a frown. “But the lady is also inside, and she hasn’t made a sound yet. I’m afraid she’s already been subdued by the thieves. For the lady’s safety, we dare not make any rash moves.”
Governor Zhou, dressed in his undershirt, had a serious expression on his face.
"Charge! We must catch the assassin!"
The guard hesitated for a moment, then immediately replied, "Yes!"
At this moment, the governor was extremely uneasy. If that thing fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, he would be finished!
"My maternal grandfather is inside!" Bai Tuantuan panicked and rushed out!
"Wait!" Ning Nanxiao tried to stop Bai Tuantuan, but he couldn't catch her at all!
Seeing Bai Tuantuan leave, Ning Nanxiao rushed over and kicked Bai Tuantuan into a corner, exposing his own figure!
"The assassin is here!"
The guards shouted and rushed towards Ning Nanxiao!
"Quick, after them!"
Bai Tuantuan, who had just gotten up from the ground, was stunned as Ning Nanxiao ran away.
Chen Luo inside felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that Tuantuan had been discovered?
Thinking this, Chen Luo quickly came out.
"round and round?"
"Grandfather! Hurry! Go save them!"
Chen Luo was pulled by Bai Tuantuan and ran in the direction Ning Nanxiao had left.
However, after taking only two steps, a white figure appeared in front of them.
"Ning family brat?" Chen Luo exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"Weren't you being chased by the guards? How come you're back?" Bai Tuantuan looked at Ning Nanxiao, her face full of shock. "You actually managed to escape?"
After the three left the Zhou residence, Ning Nanxiao followed Bai Tuantuan back to the Chen residence.
Then, in the study, the oil lamp remained lit all night.
"Grandfather, what are you doing in the Zhou family's backyard?" Bai Tuantuan asked Chen Luo curiously.
Chen Luo rubbed Bai Tuantuan's head: "It's nothing, I just killed someone."
Feeling comfortable from being rubbed, Bai Tuantuan nodded haphazardly, then suddenly widened her eyes: "Murder!"
